READING OF THE MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS MEETING Minutes of the January 3, 1967 meeting were not read. MR. EUGENE CENCI, GREATER BURLINGTON MOTEL ASSOCIATION Mr. Cenci appeared in behalf of the Motel Association to request the Board to give considerable thought to expanding the Police Department both in personnel and equipment as well as increased salaries. Mr. Cenci cited how the School Department had used his expansion as an example of where new school revenues were coming from, and felt that some of these tax dollars should be ear-marked to provide services in the form of police protection. Mr. Cenci stated that his appearance was not to be construed as a complaint against the present department. He expressed his appreciation of the chief, detective and other personnel for services rendered in the past and merely wanted to emphasize the need for adequate salaries to retain competent men.
